Experimental study of structural characteristics, dimensional change in washing, non-creasing properties and air permeability of Swiss double piqué flax knit fabrics

The structural characteristics, dimensional change after four washing cycles, non-creasing properties and air permeability of Swiss double piqué knitted fabrics from cotton/flax (70% cotton, 30% flax), PAN/flax PAN, flax) 100% flax yarns have been investigated. These fabric samples varying densities were produced on a 10 -gauge circular knitting machine. results investigation showed that the in washing, are highly dependent type yarn used. Besides yarn, such as number wales W courses C per centimeter, stitch density S, weight s , tightness K, also influenced by average loop length l . thickness t determined diameter Usually, primary alterations all types occur first second cycles. examined mainly affected rather than Lastly, AP is S.
